Accurate data ensures that deployment is strategic, transparent, and accountable. Data captures who is deployed, where, and for how long, while also recording feedback and lessons learned.
Key elements
- Volunteer databases updated with availability and training status.
- Rostering systems capturing roles, shifts, and deployment length.
- Disaggregated data on age, gender, and geography.
- Volunteer feedback forms after deployment.
Without accurate data, deployments risk being uncoordinated and invisible. Strong data systems allow NSs to monitor effectiveness, demonstrate accountability, and improve future mobilisations.
Examples
- ARC Volunteer Connection: Deployment data is updated in real-time.
- Kenya RC VDMS: Tracks deployed volunteers per branch.
